Nebřenice, Baroque château in Nebřenice, Czech Republic

Nebřenice is a classicist château on the western edge of the village of the same name, in the Prague-East district. The château stands in the northern part of a farmyard: a granary and barn lie to the south, stables to the east, and remains of a former park with the Hilbert von Schüttelsberg tomb to the north and west.

A farmstead on the site is first recorded in 1437. In 1848 Josef Hilbert von Schüttelsberg bought it with Modletice and had the Baroque château rebuilt in the Neoclassical style, laying out an English park with ponds and a deer enclosure. His nephew August inherited it in 1890 and shot himself in 1897 after Modletice was seized in execution; he lies in the family tomb north of Nebřenice. Doctor Antonín Novák bought the château in 1910 and held it until nationalisation in 1950, after which it decayed under insensitive alterations. In the 21st century it is privately owned and was restored within the Oaks Prague project.

The château gave its name to the surrounding village, which long fell under Popovičky and that under Říčany, so the owners of the Nebřenice farmstead were in practice unknown. The Hilbert family tomb from the Schüttelsberg line stands in the remains of the park north of the château. Today the grounds are part of the Oaks Prague project, with golf courses around the building.

The château stands on the western edge of Nebřenice, near Popovičky in the Prague-East district. The farm buildings enclose it on the south and east, and the remains of the park with the Hilbert tomb lie to the north and west. The building is privately owned and part of the Oaks Prague project, so it is not open as a regular visitor site; the grounds are best seen from the village lanes.

The Hilbert von Schüttelsberg family tomb stands in the remains of the former park north of the château; August Hilbert, who inherited the estate in 1890, shot himself in 1897 after the forced sale of Modletice and was buried there. The château now lies among golf courses built for the Oaks Prague project.
